CA AB780

Requires plaintiffs to serve a letter specifying alleged construction-related accessibility violations before filing a lawsuit for statutory damages against businesses with 50 or fewer employees

Gives small businesses 120 days from receipt of the violation letter to correct accessibility issues before any legal action can proceed

Eliminates liability for statutory damages, plaintiff's attorney's fees, and costs if the defendant corrects the alleged violations within the 120-day period

Prevents plaintiffs from bypassing the notice-and-cure requirements by reframing construction-related accessibility claims as general discrimination claims under the Americans with Disabilities Act

Applies to businesses that employed 50 or fewer individuals either at the time of receiving the violation letter or during any period in the preceding three years
